iAgeSmart~ Review

September 29, 2011 By 1 Comment

Have you ever thought to yourself you wish there was a miracle pill to help slow down the aging process?  Don’t you want to look and feel young, even as you grow older?  Well you are not the first to think like that.   Well Jessica is the creator of iAgeSmart and she had many of the same feeling and decided to do something about it. Jessica wanted one pill that was packed full of a blend of different nutrients.  A pill specifically geared towards aging healthier and reducing the risk of developing nasty cancers or diseases.  A pill to supply the right nutrients to areas that are most affected by aging like the heart and brain, as well as help cells retain their youthful qualities to fight diseases. Something to give people more energy, help them feel more alive and enjoy life, not just endure pain.   Jessica’s ideas turned into iAgeSmart!

 

    9 antioxidants….1 Vegetarian Capsule!!!

   iAgeSmart is the first ALL NATURAL pro-active defense against health concerns as you get older.
It helps to….

- Protect brain cells and loss of cognitive functions*
- Reduce plaque buildup in the Heart*
-Improves the function of immune cells in the body*
- Relieve Computer Eye Strain*
- Keep skin youthful*
- Support natural energy production of the body*

How would you like to live long, be healthy, & feel young.
You can get iAgeSmart for 39.99 a month.

Jessica sent me a bottle of iAgeSmart to review and even though it isn’t a magic pill and you generally won’t see result right away I did tend to feel not as sluggish as normal about half way thru the bottle.  Now with me having Fibro I never can tell is a med is making me feel how I feel or if it is just a good day… but there was a good week where I was the energizer bunny!!  LOL  So, I am wondering if the iAgeSmart was kicking in?    I think Jessica has a great product and I recommend it to everyone.
iAgeSmart gets the Living Smart Girl vote of approval.

Prettier in a weekend!

Prettier in a weekend!

Want to appear five years younger? (Yep, us, too!) You could turn to lasers and fillers or you could use our easy 48-hour plan for smoother skin, whiter teeth and a head-to-toe glow. Start on Saturday; look amazing by Monday.

By Lisa Cohen Lee

Reclaim your fresh, youthful radiance

Glow givers High school is long over (thank goodness!), but you can help skin act the way it did back then by sloughing off dull surface cells to uncover smoother, more resilient skin underneath, says Patricia Wexler, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Try a microdermabrasion cream such as Estée Lauder Idealist Micro-D, $46. Unlike with a peel, results are instant. Use light pressure; the granulated texture does all the work. To make extra sure you’ll be carded for that mimosa over brunch, complement bright skin with an even tone: Blotchy pigmentation can add up to 12 years to your perceived age, a study in Evolution and Human Behavior reports. Tinted moisturizer, such as light-reflecting Olay Definity Color Recapture, $25, camouflages imperfections but appears natural. Apply a sheer coat of regular lotion first so tint won’t soak into dry spots, causing splotches. Wear the tint daily; repeat the exfoliation each weekend.

Reclaim your shiny hair and lustrous color

Gloss enhancers Wisdom, maturity, a nicer pad—luckily, the upsides of getting older far outweigh downsides such as dull hair—especially because plant oils so easily restore shine and color richness by replacing waning scalp oil. “Jojoba-based blends are light, like your own oil, and penetrate hair to moisturize and smooth the outer cuticle, so light bounces off,” says James Corbett, of James Corbett Studio in NYC. Try Aetó Botanica Olive, Babassu & Jojoba Fortifying Oil, $34, and this simple salonlike glossing treatment: Finger-comb oil through dry hair. (Water repels oil.) Blast with a blow-dryer for one to two minutes, don a shower cap, then curl up with a book as the cap traps heat, helping oil absorb. After a half hour, wash out excess, but don’t wet hair first: Mix shampoo with a splash of water, saturate strands, then rinse. Without a lot of extra H2O, shampoo can break down oil better so it rinses out easier. Head off tangles with only a little conditioner, but skip silicone-heavy serums altogether to help keep hair bouncy. Dry as usual and enjoy the head-turning results.

Reclaim your touchably smooth hands

Skin rejuvenators Pop in an old movie, indulge in this pampering routine and watch the drying, wrinkling effects of past sun exposure fade away as the heroine falls in love. Mix 1 cup of sugar with 3 cups of whole milk or cream. (Or try the ready-made Sally Hansen Shea Butter Hand & Body Butter Scrub, $7.) Scoop up the wet sugar and exfoliate your hands, spending extra time on dryness-prone knuckles and cuticles, says Skyy Hadley, owner of As “U” Wish Nail Spa in Hoboken, New Jersey. Next, soak in the remaining liquid for five minutes to let the milk’s fat and lactic acid soften skin. Rinse and rub in a cream with petrolatum (to trap water) and dimethicone (which reduces greasiness and temporarily fills in fine lines). Massage cream into nail plates, too, then buff off with a towel for a quick shine. Heading outside? Try a moisturizer with sunscreen, such as Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Age Shield Hand Cream SPF 30, $6.

Reclaim your snowy, bright smile

Whiteness restorers Signs you enjoy small pleasures in life—a glass of Merlot with dinner, a daily Starbucks fix—can build up on teeth, but erasing them is a snap. Stains respond better to whiteners if you remove surface plaque first, says Edmond Hewlett, D.D.S., a consumer advisor in Los Angeles for the American Dental Association. After lingering over a latte, try new Crest Weekly Clean toothpaste, $4. It has extra silica for a texture that’s similar to the polishing pumice dentists use. (A teaspoon of baking soda in ½ teaspoon water also works, although less effectively.) Load it on an oscillating brush, which removes more buildup than a manual, and spend about four seconds on each tooth. Floss, brush as usual (for the fluoride polishers don’t contain), then apply a whitener. Strips deliver pearly results, Dr. Hewlett says. Plus, they can be less messy and cumbersome than one-size-fits-all trays, letting you focus on the Sunday paper, not catching drool. Polish teeth once a weekend; more often is unnecessary.

Reclaim your soft skin from the neck down

Moisture savers These easy tips keep your body’s skin so supple, you won’t realize it’s producing less softness-preserving oil than it used to. You’ve heard that long, hot showers dry out skin. But temperature is actually less of a factor than duration, says David Herschthal, M.D., a dermatologist in Boca Raton, Florida. So you can warm up a chilly weekend with a steamy stream, but limit it to five minutes. Afterward, pat skin with a towel and apply cream while damp. This is oft-heard but frequently ignored advice, says Audrey Kunin, M.D., a derm in Kansas City, Missouri, yet it’s a crucial step: Sealing in water is the most effective route to naturally soft skin. Try a cream with lactic or glycolic acid, such as Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion, $7, which contains the former. “These acids dissolve the ‘glue’ between dead surface cells so moisturizers penetrate better,” she says. Cozy cotton pj’s add another moisture-trapping layer. Go ahead, stay in them all afternoon! Come Monday, you’ll radiate a refreshed, been-away-for-days glow.

Grape Nut Peanut Butter Bars

April 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Well I just love Grape Nut’s Cereal. I eat it hot, cold, in my yogurt, just by the handful’s … YUM.

But, found a recipe on the box the other day and decided to give it a try. But, I altered it because it had WAY to much sugar in it.

Ingredients ~

1/3 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Corn Syrup (light)
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter (can use crunchy if wanted. I use health food kind)

Cook all that on the stove in a pan, stir till all melted together and hot.

Add to 2 Cups of Grape Nuts, stir well and pour into a 9×9 pan (either non stick pan, or use cooking spray to non stick it..hehe)

Let harden.. Cut and enjoy!

These can be a bit crumbly. My guess is because I cut down the amount of corn syrup. But non the less.. YUM!

My hubby isn’t into sweets, but loved these. He said they are great because they are not sweet, and loves the crunch when eating them. They are also filling so you don’t keep going back for more and more. (you can though..hehe)

Here is a picture I took of the pan before we cut into it, and one of a bar.

If you make these.. comment and tell me what ya thought.

Treadmill Workouts

April 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I have found a new love for my treadmill these days. Mainly because I live in northern Minnesota and the weather here really must have something against me because it is never nice enough for me to be outside walking! Dang! So, to the treadmill it is. But, I have found that I so love my treadmill, and wanted to share my like for it with everyone. Here are some things I have found helpful.

Just walking on a treadmill even though it is good to do, just isn’t my workout style. I want to burn the most calories I can in the shortest time period. So, I don’t just walk,… I walk, speed walk, jog, sprint, and while doing those I also keep my arms going. I do punching! LOL! Yup..just like there is a punching bag hanging in front of me.. I am punching with each step. So, depending on how fast my foot pace, that is how fast my arms are moving. And, on days I want a little more challenge, I use my small hand weights (2# in each hand). That really gets the arms tone!

What do you do to boost your treadmill workout? Let me know.
